MATTAPOISETT — The Historical Commission is reminding residents that commemorative granite bricks are available to honor family or friends.

Commission Vice Chairwoman Josephine Pannell said the Shipyard Park commemorative brick lot has seven bricks ordered to date. Five more are needed to complete the order.

A commission order has to be in 12 brick lots for it to be laid in place. Pannell said the commemorative bricks honoring family or friends have been available for the last three or four years to the people of Mattapoisett.

The 4" by 8" bricks each cost $50 and can be inscribed with up to three lines with each line containing no more than 16 letters per line, including spaces and punctuation. Commemorative brick order forms can be picked up at the Mattapoisett Town Hall.

Pannell said that two more planned commemorative brick lots are planned for installation in Veteran's Park at Ned's Point Lighthouse.
